Scientists, bioethicists, journalists and the public often use science fiction to understand the importance of gene editing, drawing on themes from <em>Frankenstein<\/em>, <em>Brave New World<\/em>, <em>Gattaca<\/em>, and other stories about changing human biology. However, there has not been much attention to the views of contemporary science fiction writers and the role they could play in this debate. For this project, we surveyed published sci-fi authors about the works of fiction that influenced their own views of human genetic engineering and the ethical issues they thought science fiction could help society to explore. Our results include a useful list of books and stories that could act as fresh sources of insight in the gene editing debate, as well as a discussion of how sci-fi authors might steer the debate as communicators to the general public and as experts in their own right.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full article on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mh.bmj.com\/content\/48\/3\/285\"><strong><em>Medical Humanities<\/em> journal website<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-3486\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2022\/09\/So-Derek-et-al-Science-Fiction-Authors-Perspectives-on-Human-Genetic-Engineering-150x150.png\" alt=\"So, Derek-Science Fiction Authors\u2019 Perspectives on Human Genetic Engineering\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2022\/09\/So-Derek-et-al-Science-Fiction-Authors-Perspectives-on-Human-Genetic-Engineering-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2022\/09\/So-Derek-et-al-Science-Fiction-Authors-Perspectives-on-Human-Genetic-Engineering-250x250.png 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Derek So is a PhD Candidate in Human Genetics at McGill University\u2019s Centre of Genomics and Policy, co-supervised by Profs.

His project, funded by a CIHR Doctoral Award, was developed partly as a Visiting Scholar at the Hastings Center and as a Visting Fellow at Harvard\u2019s Science, Technology and Society program.

She holds a Bachelor of Science from the University of Toronto and a Master of Science in Human Genetics and Biomedical Ethics from McGill University. Her graduate research focused on examining healthcare workers\u2019 perceptions of, and suggested practices to care for, germline genetically edited individuals. She is interested in emerging health technologies, personalized medicine, and health equity.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Rob Sladek is an Associate Professor at the McGill University and Genome Quebec Innovation Centre. He completed undergraduate studies in Engineering Science and Medicine as well as a clinical fellowship in Endocrinology and Metabolism, all at the University of Toronto.
